    Car Cover with Windows Shut Tight or Crack 'em open?

    Humidity is high here in the summer with hot weather. If the vehicle is also under a roof, that's a recipe for white mildew. Not in direct sun. In those conditions, I open the windows in the nicer cars and run a large box (noisy) box fan in them. This circulates the air and prevent the mildew. I...

    Jack stands

    3 legged pin. Called "suicide" stands back in the day. 12 ton ones with ratchet centers, I had a B body up on the almost all the way for years on them. Seemed OK. ANSI standards?

    Impact gun! What do you use?

    My only 1/2 drive one is a Chicago Pneumatic that I bought around 1979 at an auto parts store on Main Street in East Point GA. If I recall correctly, it was a "Direct Connection" store.

    I'm buying one of these oil drain plug tools.

    It doesn't. It comes off and you eat it. I only cook with stainless pans and used motor oil. No, I mean olive oil.

    I'm buying one of these oil drain plug tools.

    I've got so many cloths I'll never wear that rags aren't a problem. That's what comes from being old, a horder and only needing uniforms for work. I'll die with piles of all cotton things I've never worn. I only wear cotton. Plus by son is always giving me his hand me downs. He has to dress for...

    I'm buying one of these oil drain plug tools.

    Here ten minutes on how to cut up t-shirts.:rolleyes: Helpful hint. Some things absorb better than others. Avoid synthetic fabrics. And your wife's stuff. (Unless she says so.):lol:

    I'm buying one of these oil drain plug tools.

    It takes a four minute video to explain how to use this thing? :rolleyes: That's all well and good. But since I'm wearing gloves anyway....... I can usually manage to keep hot oil from running down my arm. Those guys on Road Kill are driving me nuts. They should have a disclaimer. They never...

    Welders beware!! Read this......!!

    Yep. Back when men were made of iron and boats of wood, we would clean our tools off with 1.1.1 (Inhibisol). Then our hands. Now I've got MSDS overload of the brain.

    any one use kryoil PENITRATING OIL

    It is the best I've ever used of anything. Yes we used it in aero space for years. Good luck getting them sell it by the gallon. Last I tried to buy it as an individual, I ran into some road blocks. Commercial only IIRC. That Amazon link is for only 8 oz.

    Welding Helmet

    I don't flip the whole helmet. I just flip the lens when I'm ready to weld. Since MIG is what most people use on auto work, I'm not seeing a problem with having a free hand. I'm more concerned about eye protection and I'm sort of leery about magic lenses. Right now I'm researching...

    New "garage" in the works

    I've never had to consider poring concrete in subfreezing weather. Any "tricks" to that?

    New "garage" in the works

    I was going to ask about the current floor. Concrete already? I don' t always look up. Sometimes I look down at foundations. At any rate, looks like a done deal at this point. I know you will keep us updated. Thanks.

    Respirators for Media Blasting

    Other than supplied air, I don't know of anything better than HEPA. But it's not rated for silica dust. They probably are thinking inside use where concentrations are very high.

    Putting an addition on the ol' dome home.

    Every time I seen a deck, I think about enclosing it. At least a roof and a screened in for all weather dining in the summer.
